I moved from mine and making friends hasn't been easy but it's possible. You will still have your friends from home but it takes effort to maintain those friendships long distance.

I've also made friends on my projects so I have friends from all over the US which is pretty cool

I left a great city for this reason. I had just moved there and went to consulting so felt I had to go somewhere with more acquaintances and old friends. I’d recommend getting roommates, joining class-style gyms, and of course reaching out on here/bumble BFF

Ditto the class style gyms - a coworker of mine recently moved to the city and within a month he had a couple friends because of CrossFit!

I could also stay in my home town but I’ve been here for a while now.

I'm an engineer, and I feel like my manager is more of a friend than anything else. We talk about our personal lives, and I feel like it's hard to be completely honest with her when she's so casual with me. I don't want to lose our friendship, but I also need to be able to talk honestly with someone who has the power to help me grow professionally. Is there a way to have both?

If the head of the household denied accepting it, it was left at the city dump to either: starve, be eaten
